Comment on SB-616 Signed: California’s Workers Get 2 More Paid Sick Leave Days

From 3 to 5… I literally don’t understand why a governor and state as progressive as it is doesn’t go all in and give people a realistic number. Did COVID teach us nothing? Who is lucky enough these days to only be sick up to 5 days a year. And why do we have to earn it?? Give me a law that makes it so that everyone gets their PTO/sick days all at the beginning of the year and uses it as needed.
This really can’t be the best they have right?

Give Newsom a break, he doesn’t have the same juice as Midwestern Dems in Michigan and Minnesota

I think you’re being sarcastic here, but I really can’t tell haha.
I see Gavin Newsome talk on interviews and say exactly the kind of stuff we want to hear about how bullshit everything is and showing up on Sean Hannity’s show (twice?) and calling him out on all the shit Fox News spews, and then to see “wins” as pathetic as this for worker’s rights is so frustrating.

I am!
Yeah, it is frustrating to see Newsom has a lot of juice when it comes to lip service and appointing Union Busters to seats of power, but falls flat when it comes to actually being progressive
